Welcome To Tomorrow, The Home Of Futuristic Technology

By Marsha Klein


Technology touches on a broad set of concepts. In simple terms, it involves the synergy of both knowledge and protocols mainly related to achieving goals of performing certain functions. Technological advancement has remained, remains, and will remain as a significant catalyst in molding human civilization. Futuristic technology is the great means to bridge the gap between the present and a brighter tomorrow.

It is identified as a collection of procedures since technology involves the creation, changing and use of contraptions, tools, systems, and machinery. Likewise, it is also identified that technologies are created to serve a certain function or attain an objective. In general, these activities include solving problems; improve a present way to resolve problems; and modifying systems or machines. Overall, technologies are the means for intelligent organisms, including the human organism, to leverage, manipulate, limit and adapt to the various phenomenon they face.

Humans have been propelled from the crude world of their ancestors, into an existence which takes the best possible advantage of natural phenomenon. Documents of technological use of prehistoric humans suggest that the ability to create tools, the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, and the use of shelter and clothing were the earliest technological revolutions. Such were so impressive that it impacted daily life and sealed the technologically-dependent fate of the modern human being.

The transition between old and new technologies were filled with newer ways of doing things. From merely using technological means for survival, mankind has continuously been using technologies towards trivial things like entertainment and self-satisfaction of pleasures. Such transition involved the development of printing press, farm equipment, sewer and septic systems, telephone and telegraph, explosive-based weaponry and construction, just to name a few out of so many technologies brought about during this era.

Numerous fields exist where advanced technologies are being enjoyed currently. The education, engineering, medical, sports, entertainment, music and the military fields are some examples of such. In just a very short amount of time, spanning a few decades to just several months, drastic changes have occurred in advancements within such fields.

The rate of innovation is continually increasing, meaning the developments in the discovery and creation among new technologies are constantly increasing in progression, as compared to past rates. Changes in personal computer components highlight this point, wherein parts of the machine are rendered obsolete in just a few years.

Huge impacts may be brought about upon the current way that humans live, by these advanced technologies that are currently under development. Experts are currently improving artificial intelligence capabilities to acquire new knowledge and learn from its mistakes. Growing of human organs and limbs like crops are being researched on and perfected. Quantum bits have also just recently been successfully teleported by researchers.

Since the early times, technology had huge positive impacts on how humans lived. Despite this, the same technology has also been the reason for modern problems, like global warming. The promise of futuristic technology then, is to create a much more humane, safe, peaceful, just and human-centered community for all.
